Creating Personalized Birthday Photo Books

Photo Books Make Personalized For Birthdays

By Phylis Haney

 

If you haven’t seen or made photo books in the last couple of years, and I’m speaking of online and in the manner I’ll try to describe in this article, then you are in for a real pleasant surprise. They are so superior to the old photo albums that we were accustomed to seeing as we grew up that you really cannot compare the two. They could both contain the same pictures, but that’s the end of their similarity. It’s like trying to compare a JC Penney handbag to a Louis Vuitton bag. They could both hold the same dollar bills, but that’s where the similarity would end.

By you reading this article maybe you’re fully aware of what I’m talking about and you just have interest in making a birthday photo book, which is great. There really are no limits in what you can build today’s photo books around, but birthdays is a great subject. Among the many potential choices, birthdays ranks right up there with baby photo books, and when you’ve got in mind making one from a baby’s or children’s birthday, it’s about as good as it gets. Nothing against adults, but would you rather look at a photo book filled with pictures of adults, or one filled with pictures of babies or children? I think I know the answer.

Store Bought Versus Online Invitations

Most adults have sent and received invitations of some kind many times over the years. Some had to do with their children, such as birthday parties, and some had to do with their adult friends and/or family members, such as weddings, or New Year’s party invitations. And while the nature of the parties changes some as we grow older, we continue to have occasions when we are sending or receiving invitations to something, and probably always will.

If you’re over about age fifty it is very likely that most of the invitations (if not all of them), that you have sent or received came from a local store. If you’re under about age thirty it is very likely that all of your invitations, both sent and received, came from the Internet. While there are always exceptions, most younger people are more up to date on the use of technology, or at least are familiar with what’s available when needs arise.

Tricks to Obtaining Photo Book Success

Success is an extremely relative term. It can be defined in numerous ways and can pertain to an endless number of topics. 

For example, a 23 year old girl by the name of Rosie Napravnik is considered a huge success, even though she lost the race. Her finish of ninth in the Kentucky Derby on May 7th marked the highest of the six women who have ridden in the Derby before her. 

In her own words, "I couldn't have wished for a better trip. It just wasn't to be, not this time."

Though success is relative, it's usually obtained in one of two ways:

1) Determination and a commitment to practice over and over again
2) Simple know how. 

Really, the only tricks to obtaining photo book success are in knowing how. It's like putting something together that you bought from the store. On the cover it says "assembled in 3 easy steps" but then you get home and find that the instructions are missing, and all of a sudden those 3 easy steps aren't so easy. However, once you get them, it is quite easy.

The Difference Between Quality Store-Bought and Online Photo Books

Differences in products can be meaningless to vast. 

For example, store brand aspirin has the exact same ingredients as name brand aspirin, such as Bayer, but the prices vary considerably. I happen to think that soy milk is much healthier than cow's milk. I was paying $3.89 for a half gallon, until I recently found a different brand for $2.39. I see no difference in the ingredients listed, and I actually like the cheaper one better. 

If the only photo books you've ever bought were from a store, which maybe they referred to as photo albums, then you may think that the only difference between them is size, shape, binding, and covers. And if all you're comparing are store-bought photo books, you would be exactly right. 

Some have more expensive looking covers and binding, and are therefore more expensive.  However, if you were to consider the differences between quality store-bought photo books and online photo books, you would see a vast difference.
